Title: Streetfighter Look ?
Post by: deadpool on July 30, 2005, 02:41:01 PM
I am new to this site and am looking for some advice / ideas.  I have a black 93 GS 500E.  I already removed the graphics and installed short stalk signals on the back.  I am going to put short stalk signals up front as well.  I am thinking about making a streetfighter GS.  Any ideas of what else can or/ should be done?  Does anyone know of someone who has done this before?

Dual head-lights would be a nice touch.

I like the pics that D-Day posted alot.  I have put LP silver racing footpegs on the front and now need to get some for the passenger.  I also like the idea a dual headlights, but I am not that comfortable with wiring and I would need to find some that is close to plug and play.  I am not looking for an "easy" way out, I just know my abilites.  I am thinking about  instead of adding clip-ons, just shorting the bar ends an inch or so.  And maybe adding some bar end signals.

the buell lightning dual headlight setup is very easy to install.  you can get the lights for $60 from your local HD dealership, and get the stuff you'll need to mount them at a hardware store for less than $15.

It does reduce stopping power, but other than the rain or gravel, I never use the rear brake.  On dry pavement the rear isn't on the ground during a hard stop anyway.
